人 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXIV NUMBER 76 LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1837 Nation-Wide Hunt Now in Progress For Boy's Killer ↑ Suspects in All Sections Of The Country Are Being Grilled By G-Men Tacoma, Jan. 13—(UP) The body of 10-year-old Mattson, kid raped and killed, was sealed in a manumole crypt tonight as the law closed in on men suspected of the crime. even while the family, relatives and intimate friends attended simple private funeral services, the man hunt went on relentlessly. Suspects in all parts of the nation were being questioned or sought, but department of justice agents never reveal what progress had been made. Praising the courage of the lad, the Rev. Harold B. Long, pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian church, who conducted the last rites, said: Dr. and Mr. Wm. Whitlock Matten, and their children, William Jr. and Mariel, 14, were driven to the shape by Gus P. Appelin, in preparation. "Let this be a time to resolve that because of this boy the world shall be made safer for children." Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fletcher, grandparents of the slain boy; the families of James and John Mattson, brothers of the physician; the James Goudy's of Everett, cousins, and the Ralph Malone's, Seattle, attended the services. Ms. Malone is a sister of Doctor Mattson. At the request of the sorrowing family, the services were brief. The closed casket was banked in flowers. Police are still seeking an ex-Columbia convict, nicknamed "Ttm" who stayed at a second rate hotel until the day of the kidnapping and was understood to have been planning "a big job." From a dozen widely separated cities came reports of the manhunt for the nation's newest public enemy, the former president who hung a price of $13,000 in reward. Seattle police seized a blood-stained, mud-mattered car which was left in a garage and not called into custody. The car examined thoroughly for finger prints. The Washington State Legislature meeting in Olympia, received a bill to make it a felony for any person to pay a rider to a kidnapping victim. A judge of pawns money could be punished by a jail or prison sentence. Kenneth Morris on the SHIN by The Thetas were heckling some of the male element on the Hill Tuesday night by calling them and saying that "this is a certain Studio calling, and since you have been chosen the most fascinating he on the Hill we would like to make an appointment with you to hear what has been reported yesterday as taking the conversation seriously. + + + There is a certain professor teaching a transportation class who just can't seem to keep up in his work. The instructor covered the latter half of a 600 page book in two days—This happens every semester and students are beginning to hope that he will eventually teach other than cramming. Bill Griswold has been dating a girl in Olainte quite steadily but there is an extraordinary purpose in his so doing. Strangely enough, it isn't love for the girl—it is love for horses which the girl owns and of which Bill is very fond, so he continues to hang on! The basketball game between the University of Mexico and Kansas was not without its humorous incident although it was not noticeable to spectators. When a free-threw was about to be tried, Al Wellhausen, the rangy Kansas center, said to an ankle-high Mexican (comparatively speaking), "Get the over, this is my place," and the Continued on page three Examination Schedule 9 : 30 to 12 : 00 a.m. to 10 : 30 crescent clock meeting 2 and 1 hour 9 : 30 to 12 : 00 a.m. to 10 : 30 crescent clock meeting 2 and 1 hour Thursday, Jan. 21 8:30 to 11:20 a.m.—p.33 classes meeting 5, 4 and 3 hours. 8:30 to 12:49 p.m.—p.33 classes meeting 2 and 1 hour.

Federal Government Investigates Crashes Notice Last Survivors of Latest Disaster Carried To Safety Los Angeles, Jan. 12. —(UF)—Ped- lar investigators, alarmed at the trip-hammer succession of major western air line disasters, today quickly followed doctors and rescue crews into the battered hull of a Western Air Express airline which splintered on a footbridge after an accident totally injured two persons, including Martin Johnson, famed tunnel explorer. While the big silver Bocing hay flattened against the b snow-crested mountain slope where Pilot William camped, he waded in "pancaked" it to a crashing land yesterday, the last of 11 survivors was trudged down the slush-covered mountain road shortly after midnight in hospitals in the valley floor below. The Firemen's Benefit Bill is not an authorized party for University students. JOHNSON LECTURED HERE The two dead were Johnson, 52-year-old explorer who was enroute here with his wife, Osa Johnson, for a series of lectures; and James A. Braden, wealthy Cleveland ink man-frauner. He and Mrs. Johnson Appeared or Community Lecture Course Martin Johnson, who died as *a result of injuries received in the air crash in California yesterday with his wife, Osa Johnson, lectured at the University on Oct. 23, 1951. He appeared as the first number in the book "Wonders of the Congo," the Johnson presented a motion picture, "Wonders of the Congo," which was a pietorial record of the life of gorillas and pygmies in equatorial Africa, during the making of which the explorers' lives were often later released in commercial form under the title, "Congorilla." Throughout the showing of the picture, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson lectured, explaining each scene and experiencing it in filming the scenes. At the time of their visit, Mr. Johnson said of his film, "These are the first authentic sound pictures of Africa. Mrs. Johnson and I consider them the finest pictures we have ever made."

Shut-Down Next Weekend Vice - President Believes 135,000 Employees Will Soon Be Jobless Detroit, Jan. 13—(UP) —William S. Canadieu, full, gray-haired executive vice-president of General Motors, sat on a desk and predicted that the corporation will fill all of the corporation's 125,000 automotive workers out of a job. His prophecy came as he accepted Governor Frank Murphy's invitation to a conference with the United Automobile Workers of America in an effort to reopen 34 General Motors plants and start the flow of weekly checks to 115,000 of the corporation's workers. "If the strike continues, all of General Motors will be down by that time." Camden said. "Assembly plants on the Pacific Coast still have material on hand," Gaunden said, "and so they are not affected immediately. However, they probably will go down with the others next week." Fatigue showing in the deep line of his full face, Carandon discusses the labor situation with newspaper men in the pressroom of the corporation's Detroit headquarters. He hit him in the back. He and white polka dot tie was askew. "We've got a terrible lot of men out of work," he said. "We're pretty close to having the 135,000 employees down how. I'm just as anxious as anybody to have our people at work."

The Flint, Mich., Jan. 13. —(P)—National guarders were massed on and in Grand Rapids tonight "to protect the public interest" in this city that has become the battle ground of the General Motors strike. "By morning, state officials said, they have had troops on guard here where 28 were injured in a battle between auto strikers and police last night." Reports persisted sympathetic C.I.O. Unions in Ohio were sending re-inforcements to the automobile strikers, but state police said they noticed no unusual traffic along the roads leading into Michigan Ohio.

Welfare Committee Gets Favorable Reports Students Turn In 13 Replies From State Legislature "Reports of the responses given by the legislators to the student representatives from each county during the Christmas holidays for the most part have been favorable," said Ed Rice, 139, chairman of the University Welfare committee last night. Approximately 130 replies have been received from the 200 sent out to students who interviewed legislators, but there has not been a definite tabulation made as yet. These students contacted over 100 legislative members in their effort to fund the University of Kansas. A meeting of the 200 student representatives will be held Friday afternoon at 3:30 in the Central Administration auditorium. This work is being sponsored by the traditions committee of the M.S.C. U.S. Warns Americans Who Enlist In Spain Washington, Jan. 13—(UP) —The state department was informed tonight by Consult General Mahlon Fay Perkins, at Barcelona, that 76 American volunteers in the Spanish civil war had passed through that city, and were warned that United States laws impaled penalties on citizens who enlisted in foreign armies. Acting secretary of State T. Wal- "You may point out to these persons, also, that the enlistment of American citizens in either of the opposing forces in Spain is unpatriotically inconsistent with the American government policy of the most旋搽fully non-intervention in Spanish internal affairs." Acting secretary of State T. Walton Moore cabled Perkins: Presumably the 76 volunteers enlisted on foreign soil. Had they joined while within the jurisdiction of the United States they would have been liable to $2,000 fine and three years imprisonment if officers, or $1,000 and three years if enlisted men.

WEATHER Symphony and Tau Sigma Gives Annual Program Anti-Sleeping Powder Sales Increase As Students Cram for Final Exams To date we have seen but very few superstitious students, who believe that to shave during or before a shower, will be allowed to start lettuce their beards grow. The technique of apple-pollishing, it is reported, is becoming such an art that the professors are having great sport in speculating as to what the next form will be. One student after listening to Professor Wheeler's oratorial ability for nearly a semester must have decided not to bandy words with the famed psychologist and decided to resort to Annual Mid-winter Concert Will Be Presented A* Eight This Evening Richard Martin, c. 29 As the final battle approaches the great social wheel of Mount Orca reaches to function and move town within its breath as the Oracles confine themselves to nurly academic work. The thirty-fourth annual mid-winter concert of the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra, assisted by Tau Sigma, national dancing sorority, will be held this evening at 8 o'clock in the University auditorium. Karl Kuersteiner will conduct the orchestra while Miss Elizabeth Dudley, instructor of physical education, will be in charge of the dancing.

Gibilarra reports and insurgent patrols collared the straits stopped the British steamer Bramhall, questioned her captain and finally perished the vessel to continue to Bihoe. Identity of the British warship which opened fire in Valencia harbor was not given in the Mancheta dispatch, but earlier reports said the warship had shot 4-inch guns and 10 smaller guns, was believed to have fired on the rebels. The Bramhill was enroute to the Biscay loyalist port from Barcelona and Tarragona. The program will include: Overture to "Die Entführung aus Dem Dernal" (Mozart), "Symphony No. 35 in D Major" (Mozart), "Dance Manuel" (Sainthoff), "Symphony No. 162" ("Concerto Face for Dance and Orchestra"), (Charles McMann, fa37), and "Missa sinite" (Grofo). The program will include: jhg by presenting the Doctor with a huge, very brightly polished apple which Mr. Wheeler seemed 'to appreciate very much. The usual bridge game and coke at the Union building has been replaced by intense cramming between cokes and smokes, as nectar was poured in by a "grand slam" on their final in an attempt to avoid the boozie prize and ultimate request to withdraw. Even the best of the theatrical attractions are of but little entitlement to these last minute seekers of knowledge. Concentrated effort is now at work to keep the students throughout the semester, many a professor might have to go on a strike against the great amount of over work which would come as a result of such rapid achievement. As it is employees of the library assume the duty to keep up with the frantic demands of students for books. Of late the line of waiters waiting to get to the reserve desk has been comparable to that at the show before 7 o'clock. The stag line at the midweek last night was greatly afettered by this sudden attraction which the library has during final week. All in all our survey shows that many students believe that where there's a will there's a way, but where there's no will they may crack the quiz. SECRET SESSION AND ELIGIBILITY COMBINE TO MAKE M.S.C.A JUMBLE OF POLITICS, BY-LAWS, INTRIGUE Chancellor Addresses Group Behind Closed Doors; Pachacamacs Lose Four Seats and Their Majority; Request Petitions from Those Wishing to Fill Post Vacated by Brown Alumni To Consider Athletic Board Quota While part of the orchestra that hung over from the Mid-Week went into a jam session, the airs of which filled the Council chamber, the Men's Student Council went into a jam session that saw Chancellor E. H. Lindley address the body in a secret session, and a great deal of political charging and counter-charging regarding the implications arising from the lateness of the mid-seminar inelegibility report. Directors To Determine Number Eligible To Membership Just what the topic of discussion was as the Chancellor addressed the body is not known, for the Kansan reporter was invited to leave the chamber. The Chancellor spoke to the Council for approximately 20 minutes, then left, and the council continued deliberation on the mysterious subject for 25 minutes before the reporter was re-admitted to the room. The directors for the alumni of the University are scheduled to meet next Tuesday in the Alumni office to try to determine whether that body is eligible to elect another member to the athletic board. There is a question among the alumni as to just what the minutes provide in regard to the number of representatives from the organization. Several have maintained that the minutes of the athletic board present 14 minutes, which would allow four alumni members, instead of three. The question arose because of the presence of Irving Hill, Lawrence, as an alumny representative. Mr. Hill has met with the board as a member for several years, but many question his authority to do so. There is some doubt as to his election to the poet and board members are a little confused as to just how Hill was authorized to be a member of the board. Because of this confusion the alumni organization has maintained three other members besides Hill on the evening of his week will be to determine whether the alumni are entitled to four members after the reconsideration and probable replacement of Hill in the spring event. If it is shown that the alumni are entitled to only three members, Hill will probably be asked to resign. If the organization is entitled to four members, a Lawrence man will probably be elected to replace Hill. The alumni have indicated that the fourth member will be a Lawrence resident because of the inconvenience of contacting out-of-town members in regard to questions which may arise. They report to the newly organized athletic board is the status of Mr. Karl Kloez, bursar. The report of the Regents stated that the burser was to be business manager of athletics and that the Chancellor was to be an ex-officio member of the board but it has been popularly believed that the burser was also an ex-officio member. The report adopted by the Regents has failed to clear up this point Special Stage For Drama Gard Constructs Apartment Scen for Dramatic Production A stage set representing a room in an apartment in New York City overlooking Central Park is being built by Robert Gandr. Fraser theater stage technician. This scenery will be used in the production of the play, "This Thing Called Love," which will be performed at the Dramatic club under the direction of Rolla Nuebles, of the department of speech and dramatic art. The setting is modernist and has some very unusual features, including a window which reaches almost to the ceiling and through which may be seen the buildings of New York City. The stage is designed by Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art. KFKU --- Thursday, Jan. 14 2:30 p.m. German lesson. 2:42 p.m. News flash.

President Phillips then commenced a detailed report of the findings of the N.S.F.A. convention which he attended as a representative of the University, but it was first subly suggested, then formally moved that he continue the report until it future business at hand. The important business as it developed was the report of the eligibility committee which swept from the council four members of the Pacha-came party, which previous to that year formed a one-man majority in the council. It was moved that in the future all reports of the eligibility committee be submitted for action of the council immediately upon their receipt by the president, whether or not said reports were complete. The secretary was instructed by the council to publish a request for petitions from students aspiring to the council post left definitely vacant by Tom Brown, ph. 37, whose exclusion from the council was final. The council then went into a lengthy discussion on the advisability and inadvisibility of holding the regular meeting two weeks from last month, and which some members contended would materially hamper their scholiastic attainments. Of course other conditions, such as the fact that, not such a meeting held, the present PSGL major might not have an opportunity to fill Brown's position within the council, and would possibly find Jake Young, c40, Norman Hemphil, c39, or Fred Pralle, c38, returned to good standing in the council by virtue of a favorable semester scholiastic report. These men are all members of the council, and all will all been temporarily suspended from the council because of a low grade *average* at mid-semester. The Pachacamayo element bowed to the P.S.G.L. sentiment so ardently in favor of strict constitutionalism and the meeting in strict calendar order. Aside from these discussions, the council voted favorably on a petition from the Activity committee to authorize the expenditure of $215 from the reserve activity fund for the purpose of holding a Negro varsity, and to dissipate a deficit from previous Negro varsities. The appointment of Mellinger, f'38, and William Gough, c'38, to the Student Court was also approved by the council. The body approved and voted moral support to the projected convention of the National Student Christian Movement which may be held here during the Christmas holidays. An outline of this convention is presented sentenced the body by John L. Hunt, secretary of the Y.M.C.A. Dave Conderman presented the report of the committee organized to investigate working conditions of students. He said that the committee had secured the co-operation of most agencies at the University, and would disseminate the questionnaire designed to make a general survey of working conditions. Anderson to Give Recital The ninety-fifth Vesper Organ recital will be given Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the University auditorium. The recital will be presented by Laurel Everette Anderson, professor of organ and University Organist. Mr. Anderson has been at the University since 1927.
